Hello guys, I recently purchased a VW Touran 2014 model - Petrol (IT3) and it is a Japanese import. I did not get the manual with it and do not have service history on it. I would like to know if it comes with a timing belt or a timing chain. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks

How did you get on with the colour choice.....did you commit to a particular one?

I would be tempted to try eBay and put a starting price of whatever you think is reasonable. If it doesn't exceed the starting price then it won't sell and nothing lost but at least you'll know what its worth then and can reduce the price next time round or leave open to offers. Alternatively, we buy any car and increase their valuation by 25% or so for a more realistic valuation

I wonder if it is a bumper protector for when you are loading things into the boot and avoids scratching the paint?

4x4 direct are a very good supplier of sidesteps....have used the company before and reasonable prices. Fitting - now that is another ballgame, not the easiest to fit so would entrust a garage to do this

The usual fault is that the battery is not strong enough that when the engine is starting the voltage drops too low and flags a fault for the Electric Power Steering (EPS) and takes the steering offline. Have the battery checked for condition and replace if necessary - this is the best place to start your diagnosis

Hi please can anyone help by checking their car.ive bought a 2021 Touran and in the boot is this piece of plastic trim the part number on it is 5ta867508 where the heck does it go th

Sounds like it could be a firmware or software update is required for the audio system to enable the Aux to be used Alternatively will the phone not connect via bluetooth?

Here is a selection of side steps from 4x4 direct https://direct4x4.co.uk/collections/volkswagen-touareg-accessories

Did you happen to find your problem because I have a 2011 with the red steering wheel of death on the dash and no power steering it is currently the only vehicle I have to trust driving out of town for work and would love to know why I have no power steering my computer pulls up a code for the power steering control module, I have no clue where the module is located or anything of those lines, is it something I can replace or is it something that’s made into the whole rack assembly I have no ideas where I need to go from here, any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!

Has anyone had or fitted side steps or bars to a Touareg Altitude model, ours is a 2012, and wife is struggling to get in and out so, if anyone could help please Thanks

We own a 2012 Touareg Altitude , lovely car but I trying to find someone who has fitted side step to an Altitude model, as my wife is struggling to get in and out, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, spoken to a couple of supplier who said its possible but spacers are needed. I purchased a set of genuine VW steps but there isn't enough clearance to open the door. Cheers Steve

Hi folks, New to this forum. My mk7 2017 facelift Golf has developed a strange USB issue. When I plug an Android phone in it randomly tells me "Failed to connect to USB". It does work sometimes but often fails. For instance if using Google Maps it can disconnect. I've changed the phone from a Motorola to a Google Pixel and have used 3 separate Type C cables but the problem is still there. This only started to happen at the start of the year. The socket rarely gets unplugged so wear and tear would be unlikely. Has anybody experienced this? It isn't the end of the world but I was hoping for a nice cheap fix. Thanks Phil

Help needed please! I'm on the verge of ordering my new golf (r line estate) but have been unable to find "samples" of the colours I'm interested in. Unfortunately my local dealer has no cars of the right colours in stock,nor do they have any colour samples. The colours Im interested in are dolphin grey and the oyster silver if anyone can help? I've tried using the vehicle configuration tool on the website but it doesn't give particularly good results!

Good morning. I am after a little bit of advise please. A couple of months ago my dad gave me his old car, it is a golf mk5 2,0TDI 4 motion. He owned it for the last 15 years ,it has fully VW service history with 68,000mile on the clock. I do not need another car so i am going to sell it, looking on line I have only found a couple for sale and for around £4000.i am wondering if any one can help me price it correctly or if anyone is interested in buying it from me. I have been offered a price but not sure if its a good or bad offer. many thanks Dan

I have just been to see a 2014 sharan I’m wanting to purchase but oddly the heating only seemed to warm up on the drivers side, was so odd, and the ones in the back above doors were also not getting warm? Anyone know what this could be and if it’s expensive to fix? Many thanks

Anyone know if there is a lowering kit available for a 2024 model

Hi all i have a facelift mk1 r line im looking for some aftermarket body styling parts but dont seem to be able to find any can anyone help please

Hi I have a 72 karmen bug that is leaking oil like pig from flywheel seal. Looks like the thrust needs machining. I live near Cardiff does anyone know someone who machines crankcase?

Auxiliary heater I’m not to fussed about it’s just the airbag faults I’m concerned about at the minute don’t have vcds to investigate further just using the ad20 pro. The code it’s giving me is saying the connection under the passenger seat but everything looks to be ok under there so not too sure

Difficult one to source the water getting in. A smoke generator is your best bet and if you want to save money then buy one as useful to have for a variety of uses. See link below for cheap one through eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175045189596?_skw=smoke+generator&itmmeta=01J8Q2TD01Q82T85KJH2K05RE7&hash=item28c1819fdc:g:bLsAAOSwmSRm8OcX&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl9GzdaNeHOwXZ5wldCkX0Zi99YEpQXBsz7B0FU4A07LLT8Yj8wnTJo4VROSMXmpQ4J4BRYLtBSP4%2Bg56i1xsJx%2Bt7rQG3x2X1QKVijjjlTT6mL4HEOEyFR450NXikd2MnT%2BC9wynl2qpmbx29db7%2BtA64D2fiy%2FL3zMBHx8LXQITMCOp9GQZl4QkMbYughjRo48NwhgCItXjNYzltbwYf92sYGHOy%2Fm0XRb107ObXk%2FN9ggkvmTGzSWJcjCvKIJBU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5LQ6eLFZA

Usually a third service will be a small one, much like the first service There may be options such as coolant or brake fluid change which is usually chargeable on top of the service price

Is there an issue with the microphone (or an obstruction to it which could affect the sound quality)?

I'm not sure but wondering if you do actually have an auxiliary heater as the system may be looking for something that isn't actually there? The airbags, not sure again but could substitute a resistance (i used noid lamps - used for testing injector pulsing which has the correct resistance of an airbag). If the code clears then the resistance for the airbag is out and doesn't involve putting a voltage across the airbag which is dangerous (could deploy them)
